The Met Office has delivered its official forecast for Christmas, and most of us can expect things to feel considerably warmer.

The milder spell we're about to experience comes after grim weather caused chaos across parts of the country over the weekend.Weather experts predict a "grey Christmas", with some sunshine, and “extremely mild” temperatures.

This follows what has been described as a “perfect storm” of poor weather conditions combined with heavy traffic, leading to widespread disruptions during the festive travel rush.Yellow wind warnings were in place until 9pm on Sunday, affecting Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, and regions of England including the North East, North West, South West, West Midlands, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, and Hampshire.Moreover, the forecasting service has issued a fresh yellow ice warning for parts of north-east Scotland beginning at 9pm on Sunday until 10am on Monday.

Compounding the travel misery, an airport was plunged into emergency mode on Sunday when a plane suffered a nose wheel collapse upon landing in Belfast.
